For previous exhibition info see: 
A showing of the film, 'Battle Of Trafalgar' followed by discussion. A chronological account of the anti-poll tax demonstration on 31st March 1990, one that is disturbingly different from that presented by that day's TV news. Eyewitnesses tell their stories against a backdrop of video footage showing the day's events as they unfold. Demonstrators' testimonies raise some uncomfortable questions: questions about public order policing, the independence and accountability of the media and the right to demonstrate. Refreshments may be provided - or bring your own.

Film night benefit for LARC from the Collective Vision crew... "Set against a backdrop of London estate blocks, police wagons and spray paint graffiti, and with a pirate radio commentary provided by Skinnyman and DJ Flip, The Plague follows one weekend in the lives of four friends as they go about their routine, visiting mates, smoking, drinking, freestyling, chasing girls, running scams, partying and getting into trouble. Made on a tiny budget by a gang of enthusiastic young film-makers barely out of college, 23-year-old writer and director Greg Hall injects each scene with wit, imagination and resourcefulness. Winner of the inaugural Katrin Cartlidge Foundation prize at the 10th Sarajevo Film Festival this year, this film was described by presenter Mike Leigh as 'serious, funny, real, surreal and totally anarchic'".
